I'm very newly pregnant so can only share on that :) so far no issues. I'm a little naseous and a little tired, but it's funny that you just adjust. I remember being pregnant with my son and of course then it was just me so if I wanted to complain, I could and if I wanted to nap, I could. But now as a mom, well you just get through your day and do your best to make your child happy.

So I can say so far at least (mind you only just over 5 weeks!) it's going better and easier that last time. Not that the pregnancy feels any different symptom-wise, but just that my attitude is different.

My DS is not yet 19 months and I am 13 wks pregnant w/ LO #2. Quite honestly ours was not planned, it was a total shock. I had to go through considerable infertility treatment to conceive DS after years of trying, so we assumed we'd have to do it all again to have more kids. Nope! LOL I am finally getting to the acceptance stage and the panic is subsiding, haha.

The hardest part has been having terrible MS in my first tri (seems to be gone now) and feeling like a failure as a mommy b/c I couldn't play or keep up w/ my DS. He is a huge ball of constant energy. We are starting to work with him to be more independent with some things that I will be unable to help him with soon and trying to figure out how we want to time potty training and moving to a big boy bed b/c I do not want him to have all of those changes at the same time that a new baby comes home as well (which is pretty much when we initially planned to do those things before we found out I was pg). We bought him a "big brother" book that he likes to read, but we don't really have a lot of babies around us to expose him to so even though he will point to my stomach if you ask him where the baby is, I don't think he actually gets it. :)

I'm 32 weeks with #2 and DS will be about a week or two shy of 21 months when this baby arrives in May. I had horrible morning sickness with #1 and was blessed with it again this time :/ I felt awful for DS because there were days that it was literally all I could do to barely function. Luckily, he's young enough that he won't remember mommy lying on the game room floor while he was running around and playing. I was also put on bed rest for a period of time due to a SCH and again, luckily he won't remember that I couldn't pick him up for several weeks (it would break my heart when he would reach for me to pick him up and cry when I couldn't). I can't hold his attention long enough for him to feel or see the baby move but whenever I ask him where mommy's baby is, he points to and kisses my belly.

But yeah, I don't think he has any idea that the M____ show is about to end!! I think it'll be great having them so close together and can't wait :)

Our biggest dilemma right now is moving him into a toddler bed - actually it'll be a bunk bed. I kind of want to do it now so he doesn't associate losing his crib to the baby but, he's all over the crib so I'm afraid he'll fall out of a bed! Luckily, we won't need the crib for the baby until the baby is about 12 weeks old so there's plenty of time for him to get used to the baby being around and hopefully not resent the baby for "stealing" his crib.
